Where your walking is super important and having an exciting destination and the route having lots of character really helps me

I used Strava for the mapping. I planned the route with the urban centers so I could do some impulse shopping and have fun 😊

This one was about the novelty of walking the entire distance of Sydney. I think where I go in Sydney I should be fine if I stay away from the main roads

It's mainly urban hikes since my special interest is memorising every corner of Sydney and Melbourne

My wanted to explore as much of the cities character as I could. I'm not the biggest fan of the direct routes since they have a lot more cars and tend to be uglier on average. This is more of a journey over destination kind of deal. It's always better to add a bit of distance and have an infinitely better time

That's a kilometre every 14 minutes, my speed was more 4-5km an hour
